It is 'an object of this invention to provide l means whereby enaperture may be opened l at the top or bottom, or both, of a window andwithout `necessitating the unlocking of the sashs and insuch manner asto prevent rein from beatingin to the opening.

A further object of the invention is to provide apertures at the top ofthe top sash and bottom of the bottom sash of a Window in which arehorizontally-pivoted closures and means for securing the closures in aclosed position.

With these and other objects in vew`the 1 present invention consists inthe combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter 'fullydescribed, shown in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointedout in the appended claim, it being understood that che es in the form,proportions, size, and minor etails may be made without departing fromthe spirit or sacrificing any of its advantages.

In the' drawings, Figure 1 is c view in front elevation of a Windowembodyingthis invention. Fig. 2 is e vertical sectional view of a windowembodying this invention and taken on line 2 2 of Fig. 1. 1
